Jubilee 1st Avenue - New York

Best French restaurant in town! Strongl recommended !

Decided to try this neighborhood restaurant for NYeve dinner. Food and service was great. Low rating because hostess led us to the worst table when the restaurant was not at all busy. Asked for a different table for which she ultimately accommodated us.

We went in for NYE and ate at the bar so we could watch a bowl game. It’s a lovely neighborhood place we go often. The bartender takes great care of everyone who dines at the bar. It was a special menu due to the occasion; traditional French specialties. The duck breast was amazing. The foie gras is always excellent. They have a good French wine list and very seasoned staff. It’s a regular spot for many folks in the neighborhood. Great service and very reliably French menu.

I love Jubilee and had a terrific meal there last night. Of the three excellent courses, I have to single out the really superb Grand Marnier Soufflé! The service was efficient and pleasant and the ambience civilized and comfortable. One criticism: the bathrooms, now unisex (which is fine), do not lock. They need to address that.

My wife and I dined on the confit du canard (duck leg) offering on the regular menu. We are partial to confit du canard and Chef Luc’s rendering of this dish was one of the best we’ve experienced both here in NYC and in France. The meat was flavorful, moist and falling off the bone, skin crispy, just the right amount of fat to insure flavor. It was accompanied by a rich, dark. sauce which was a treat in and of itself. My wife and I like Jubilee for its having maintained high standards. In short, it’s a real French restaurant
